Just before the big crazy storm weather started, I spent the week in Harrisville at the spinning mill. The village is stunningly beautiful in all seasons, but nestling into the heart of New England in late October is particularly special. When in need of color inspiration, there aren’t too many things that can beat the myriad shades of fiery foliage that abound in this part of the country.
When in Harrisville, my shutter finger really starts twitching – so I thought I’d share some photographs from my trip with you this morning.

Just beautiful pictures. It makes me want to plan a visit.
What a beautiful place to be. All of the photos are beautiful but my favourite is that shot with the gears and the wrench and that last window shot.
Glad to hear you got some time with your picture box!
I would be so tickled to see my name on the little signs.
Those photos are incredible – and you’re right. Being from New England myself and living in the heart of Connecticut, the color inspiration is unbeatable. Wonderful inspiration here on your blog as well. So thank you!
Indeed! Whát inspiration. The bright yellow, the subtle red, the brown of the shed.
Thank you!
I love it when your shutter finger gets all twitchy!
magical… there’s no other words
jolie visite de cette filature en automne ; les couleurs des fils sont assorties aux images
Beautiful images – I grew up in New England & “autumn” in southern California is nothing like it. But the coolest must be seeing your name next next to that purple!
Your photographs are stunning.Thank you for giving such a visual treat.You work is good for our souls.
Beautiful pictures, but please, more patterns Jared, especially blankets for the cold months. Thanks
Oh my goodness, what stunning colors! and the photography is really beautiful. I wish I could make a visit up there
I especially like the little handwritten sign, “J Flood. Purple.” Says it all.
Beautiful and thank you.
Beautiful pictures.
Thanks for showing,
Antje
Love these! I especially love all that wonderful Sap colorway, all lined up in a row …
Beautiful photos, Jared! Love that chartreuse.
Thanks so much for the stunning pictures. It is a magical time of year!
what awesome photos- I just love the foliage. I live in Las Vegas and foliage isn’t really a visual treat here -_- but I grew up in Virginia, so at least I have some childhood memories of Fall to hold onto.
Love the shot of the chartreuse on the bobbins,there must be such a sense of pride to see the creation of your yarn.
xo
Do you dive into those carts of bobbins and wriggle allnaround? Like kids in a ball crawl. Is it wrong that I want to?
[...] while we’re on the subject of yarn makers, don’t miss Jared Flood’s latest batch of photos from his Harrisville mill. How much would I pay for one of those bobbins full of Brooklyn [...]
Beautiful pics. My favorite is the J Flood Purple! <3
